Anytime our son has a cough or cold, my wife likes to play doctor and immediately administers Accuneb about every 6 hours. After two or three treatments, our six year son begins to have a fever, rapid heart beat, labored breathing, chest pain, headache, restlessness, weakness, flushing, and diarrhea. She worked in a doctor's office once and was given the assignment to repack pill drugs into smaller quanity bottles -- now she just can't wait to administer drugs, especially Albuterol. HELP!

IR is tricky with 3 doses a day,.. STAY AWAY FROM DIETARY SUPPLEMENT NIACIN !!! Unless,.. you are an expert identifying the safe, from the toxic, from he 'placebo'. YES.. most of the $20-35 a month NO FLUSH have NO BENEFIT. Do NOT work. Safe??.. yes! Work??,.. NO! Preventative Cardiology Norris RB, et al Jan 2006. the cardiologist wrote Rx ER niacin & pateint switched to NO FLUSH,.. no HDL changes, no further LDL drop, No trig drop,.. NOTHING !! Card didn`t know. Grilled patient. patient confesswed. Labs do NOT lie. HDL, especially HDL2 AND Lp(a) hardly move for 9 months, BUT continue to respoind for 3 years. Allen Taylor, MD, Colonel - Walter Reed & Moti Kashyap, VA/Los Angeles-Long Beach. ONLY niacin & estrogen increase HDL2. Fibrates LOWER HDL2. 1000 mg or 1g increase HDL2 11% & at 2000 mg or 2g it increases 189%. Absolutely unique. By he time the flushing quits occuring : 1) small dense pattern B LDL. even with a total LDL of 85, pattern B will eventually get you
2) LOW HDL2; Often far below 10 in males & < 15 in females
Niacin is THE MOST POTENT AGENT to fully correct BOTH these defects.
Manage triglycerides up to 800 mg/dL with ONLY 10 caps fish oil and 1 gm or more of RX niacin: No need for fibrates until pancreatiis is a threat @ ~>800-1000..

BEWARE the SR, CR, LA aka 'LOW' FLUSH niacins. Poor efficacy and other poor tolerability issues: GI, etc. Again, unregulated, not even OTC. DANGEROUS to play with. Several gov't studies, on Sustained release / SR at the VA, there were reports of confirmed hepatotoxicity: "...fulminant hepatic failure.." long residence times in the liver are not a good idea.
DO NOT PLAY DOCTOR!! Find a Dr. who has A LOT of experience Rx-ing ER niacin. If he doesn`t CURRENTLY have 50-100 successfully managed niacin patients, ask IM's, ENDO's & Cards until you find someone who does have clinical experience. 100 new starts a year,.. minimum. OR.. call a lipid clinic. They know. USE HE WEB: Find a lipid expert in your zip code: Lipid.org aka National Lipid Association

Take care,..
...be well...!! ;-)
